Individual wins in five events propelled West Las Vegas’ boys to a team championship over the weekend in the Cholla Classic hosted at Santa Fe High School’s track and field complex.

Moises Coca won the 800-meter run and teamed with Rosendo Gonzales, Stephen Urioste and Victor Ulibarri to win the 1,600-meter relay. Miguel Sena’s title in the high jump, Gonzales’ victory in the triple jump and a one-two finish for Nicholas Gurule and Salvador Lopez in the javelin helped the Dons achieve first place in the boys’ standings.

Jaci and Jenese Fulgenzi earned a spot in the No. 1 girls’ doubles final of this past weekend’s Los Alamos Invitational, but the young Robertson duo lost to Farmington’s Riley Coleman and Liza Briody-Pavlik.

The Scorpions cruised to a 6-1 win in the first set before the Lady Cardinal pair got the equalizer with a 6-4 verdict in the second. But Coleman and Briody-Pavlik answered with a 6-2 win in the clincher.

Highlands University junior Salcia Slack won the heptathlon and automatically qualified for the NCAAs — also provisionally qualifying in the 100 hurdles, long jump and javelin — while freshman Shanice McPherson (100 meters) and sophomores Michelle Traynham (javelin) and Destiny Dilworth (heptathlon) also qualified for the NCAA Championships to wrap up a successful day at the Air Force Relays and the Texas Tech Open this past Saturday.

In a reversal of fortune, the Highlands softball team found itself battling through a four-game slide over the weekend just days after having won its sixth consecutive game.

On Saturday, Colorado-Colorado Springs dealt the Cowgirls a 13-4 defeat after holding them to five hits.

Korey Kulpins (9-4) went six innings for the Mountain Lions and gave up just one earned run. That offset a good game by Highlands’ Dominique Padilla, who went 3 for 3 at the plate with two runs batted in.
